Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 27, 1909. SeriaMVo. 5141,9552.v

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. MORTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinols, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manifolding Order-Slips,

of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in order slips designed particularly for use in giving a la carte meal orders on dining cars where triplicate order slips are used, one of which is returned to the auditor of the/road, and consists of means for effectually sealing the slip so that any writing upon it cannot be altere 1 To this end my invent-ion consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter particularly described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved invention;

2 is a similar viewof one of the triplicate slips partly broken away; and Fig. 3 is a section on line 02-00 of Fig. 1.

As shown in the drawings the invention consists of three account slips, A, B and 0. Each of the account sli s is backed by a carbon sheet 2 permanent y connected thereto, entirelyaround the outer edge, as by stitching 3. The account slip 3 is further backed by a stifi' backing 4 to which the slip C and the carbon sheet is sewed. The slips A, B and C are suitably. connected along one end a binding strip 5, with a line of perforations 6 immediately *inside the binding strip. I preferably also arrange the lines of stitching 3 for each of the under slips, in-

- side the stitching for the upper slip, so that the. strips will not be held apart by the line of stitching being in alinement.

In use any writing upon the upper slip A will be transferred by the carbons to the slips B and C and will also appear upon the backs of said slips. As will be evident it will be impossible to get to the back of any of the slips to erase the writing without tearing the carbon or slip, as indicated in ing at thebac of the slip. Inasmuch as any writing on the front of the slip will be'duplicated by the .carbon on the back it will be apparent that no tampering with the writ- -1ng can be done without tearing away the attached carbon and thus indicating to the autdlitor that the slip has been tampered W1 'I claim as my invention:

1 An order slip of the class described comprising a memorandum sheet and a carbon sheet connected with said memorandum sheet'along its outer edges.

2. Triplicate order slips of the class described comprising three memorandum slips, a carbon connected to the underside of each slip around its outer edges and means con- IElecting adjacent ends of said slips-and carons.

scribed comprising three ,memorandum slips connected together at adjacent ends, a carbon sheet underneath each of the upper memorandum sheets and secured to the same entirely around the edges thereof, and arelatively stifi' backing and interposed carbon secured to the underside of the lower sheet entirely around its edges.

4. Triplicate order slips of the class described comprising three memorandum sheets, and carbon sheets secured underneatheach memorandum slip by a line of stitching extending entirely around the outer edges, the line ofstitching of the three slips being arranged out of alinement.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence oftwo witnesses.

GEORGE E. MORTON."
